It didn’t start happening until we moved to this site yesterday so I am wondering if this power unit at the site is defective. I’ll try turning the charger off to if it helps. Thanks for the tip!

For instance, we are currently plugged into a 15amp outlet at a friend’s home and I had to unplug the charger so as not to draw too many amps with the A/C on….the A/C draws 10-11amp all by itself, and if your charger is drawing 5-6 amps you’re toast….figuratively.
